OK I have found a problem with your page Dilwyn - luckily I rescued it from within Opera - the problem was due to you using the ampersand symbol in a section title. This stops the XML parser which does not expect the ampersand, except as &
Luckily Opera gives you the option to reparse the page in HTML when this error occurs, so I could get to the error and correct it. Other users beware!! I too hav efound it easier to copy and paste the text. To add a picture, you have to host the picture elsewhere - there is no facility to upload it to the wiki (as that is just a SQL database). The link is then made up of ((link_address|alternative_text)) the other options allow you to set size etc, but can be ignored - see the full syntax at the bottom of the editing page, or look at some of the pages I have created. Please also remember that you need to create a link to the new page somewhere, so that the wiki all ties together.
